Jamie and Jason Price were two of the best students the MCC Theatre Dept. has ever had.  I had only been teaching two years when they came to school here from Canadian, Texas, a little country town north of Amarillo.  They were twin brothers who were pursing theatre as a major but also still wanted to do music.  I first met them because I was on the Tartan Scholarship committee and they had applied so I was conducting their interview.  I was excited to learn that they were going to be in my department, so I took a special interest in them.  They were perhaps the hardest working students I've ever had.  So I was delighted to find out that they had  jointly won MCC's Distinguished Alumni award and that Dr. SoRelle had asked me to help her present them with their awards at the special luncheon that they have for all the Foundation donors.  Dr. SoRelle asked me to put together a slide show of all the stuff they had done while at MCC (1999-2001) as well as tell some humorous stories about their time here.

Slideshow of their time at MCC

They were not able to come to Waco to receive their awards, Jamie teaches in New York and Jason teaches in England, but they sent videos of their acceptance speeches for us to watch.  Here's their lovely twin statuettes that Cindy and I got to accept on their behalf.

Dr. Jason Price currently serves as the Senior Lecturer (Professor) at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, where he has earned a reputation as an esteemed theatre scholar. Jason published the well-received book, Modern Popular Theatre. He has also published Contemporary Theatre Review, Comedy Studies, Popular Entertainment Studies, and Studies in Theatre and Performance. 

The Price brothers will visit Waco in mid-November, when they will present several theatre workshops for MCC students.
